I upgraded from 2.0 non-nav to 2.2 last week. It went pretty smoothly once I figured out that the non-nav upgrade is 2.2 GB and the limit for an update is about 2GB. Here's what I posted in another thread on how I got it to work.

It sounds a little more daunting that it is. I'll list it out here for you guys, you really shouldn't have any issues.

1. Freshly format a usb stick with FAT32 or exFAT. 4GB or larger should be fine.
2. Unzip all of the files in the update and copy them over to your USB stick.
3. All you need to do to split up the install is swap out the .lst file

Open the autoinstall.lst file. Create a new txt file on your desktop and copy and paste the contents in there, just so you have the full thing.

Edit the autoinstall.lst file thats on your USB stick and delete these lines (the Item # and Open # will be different, dont worry):

Item1 = HN1T-14G381-SA
Open1 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G381-SA.tar.gz

5. Now eject your usb stick and go plug it into the truck. Turn your truck on. I had my truck plugged into a trickle charger as I was dicking around with this for a while and didnt want to leave it running for so long. You can run your truck or plug it into a charger. It takes about 15-20 minutes. Some have said longer, some shorter. Either way, after you turn on the truck, just let it sit for a while and you'll eventually see a "Software Upgrading..." at the top. Just wait until this goes away and a message will pop up saying it was successful and changes will apply on next boot.

6. Now, take out the USB stick, go plug it back into your computer. Edit the .lst file again and this is what you want the entire thing to say:

; Gen 3 - Consumer Assembly Update - NonNav/NEU - 17011

[SYNCGen3.0_ALL]
Item1 = HN1T-14G381-SA
Open1 = SyncMyRide\HN1T-14G381-SA.tar.gz
Options = AutoInstall

Nothing else should be in there.

Go and repeat the steps above and let it do its thing. When its finished, completely turn off the truck and open your door so Sync shuts down. (Protip: you can hold the power button and the > button on the radio to reboot Sync).

Once you fully boot up again, you should instantly notice it looks different with different colors on the menu bars. You can go into settings and you'll see you have 2.2_17011 installed.

Boom.

I have the non-nav files on a server at home I can serve up for you when I get home tonight. I never downloaded the nav files though unfortunately.

I've got a 2016 F-150 with v2.0 non nav. I can't get it to upgrade to 2.2 over wi-fi and on the Ford owner site it says mine is up to date with v2.0. I just dropped my truck off this morning to Gator Ford for an oil change and minor fix and asked them up upgrade to 2.2 and they wanted to charge me $150 to upgrade.

Where can I download the v2.2 so I can try the manual install from USB? I looked back through this thread and didn't see it, I might have missed it though.

Thanks in advance,
Harry

If you can`t find the link to the upgrade on here, your best bet would be to do a Google search for said upgrade files.

The price that the dealer quoted you is right in line what dealers are charging for the upgrade.

Remember that it`s also best to upgrade to the new USB hub as well so you should purchase one via a Ford dealer on eBay instead of at your dealership because they`ll charge you for that install as well and it`s something you can do yourself in under 5 minutes or a little longer if it`s your first time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, I'll give that a try.

I thought that the new USB hub was only for Apple Car Play. I use Android Auto and everything works pretty well.

You are correct about the USB hub.

The reason that I mentioned it was because I wasn`t sure if you were using an iPhone and wanted to use CarPlay.

Let us know if you were able to locate the files and how your update went.

I've got v2.0 non-nav in my F150 also. Is there any way I could get a copy of the v2.2 update that you used?

Thanks,
Harry

Guys does anyone have the 2017 original sync 3 with NAV 2.0 install files?

I upgraded mine to 2.3 from the official myford website, using usb stick, and vin number and it showed 2.3 available so i upgraded, now i have blank screen on navigation. Still have the button on bottom of screen but when i click it no maps. Already tried master reset, power button and seek up reset, re-installing same, installing unoffcial 3.0 upgrade, still have black screen, was hoping to be able to go back to 2.0. I did the upgrade cause i was under the impression that 2.0 will not work with carplay.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Does your screen name indicate the year and model of your vehicle?
